A small footprint to signify ones life…

And so you reach your final scene
Will someone know that you have been
Did you enjoy a fulfilled life
Or was it filled with pain and strife
And did you ever stop and find
Enough surprise to blow your mind
Did music lift your spirits high
And books so thrill you by and by
Or were perhaps these not for you
You found more sporty things to do.

Did you find someone to love
Who made your heart soar high above
And was your faith a boring drone
That made you feel the need to moan
Or did it lift your spiritual tone
And let you know you weren’t alone.
Have you made a difference
Of complex times have you made sense
And have you done the best you can
Or been a swine or harridan
Is your humbleness well known
Or is your call a megaphone?

We are so many, we differ so
How others feel we sometimes know
But if we’re generous in our hearts
Friendships grow from gentle starts
And you can love just who you choose
The loveless are the ones to lose
As those who love care for the land
Embracing nature, no demand
And making way to journey’s end
When sometimes death seems like a friend
Perhaps reflect and leave this hint
We all should leave a small footprint.

Whoa. I’m at the point in my life where I’m analyzing my past because I know that there’s less future. Your reflections will resonate with many who realize that it’s all a blur. Your writing is your footprint.

The answer to almost everything can be found in better education. Open your eyes and really see the world through them.

Read too many books, not possible is it? Hear too much music, not likely either.

Always look for the good in people, but remember, sometimes you may have to delve quite deeply. Also remember that kindness is not entirely its own reward...we all have to eat. That's eat...not over-eat.

Try not to hurt people. You wouldn't like it would you!
